The film is notable for being the first animated adaptation of [[Anne Frank]]'s ''[[The Diary of a Young Girl]]'' (1942–1944) and was co-produced by [[Nippon Animation]] and [[Asahi Broadcasting Corporation]] to commemorate Anne's 50th birthday. The film uses four of Anne's short fantasy stories as interludes to her confinement.<ref name=":0" /> It also features an interview with Anne's father [[Otto Frank]], and real live action footage from [[Nazi concentration camps]] and [[Netherlands]] landscapes. It aired on TV Asahi on 28 September 1979. It is said to have started the subgenre of child-focused anime about war such as ''[[Barefoot Gen (1983 film)|Barefoot Gen]]'' and ''[[Grave of the Fireflies]]''.<ref name=":0" /> The film is currently unavailable, having never been re-broadcast or released to home video.
